Codes and Conventions of a Thriller

Page 4: Thriller movies

Mirrors – used for the used of reflection of someone’s soul or inner self. May also represent the darkness within a character.( example “Mirrors” directed by Alexandre Aja)

Shadows are related with low key lighting and can represent inner darkness but also add tension to a film.

Quick shots are used a lot in thriller films to give the feelings of suspense and tension.

Flash backs give a sense of time and space to confuse the audience.(example “Momento” by Christopher Nolan)

Black and white is another convention because it makes good use of the shadows and can make the film seem eerie and dark. ( for example “Psycho”)
